Chapter 17: Fragrant Medicine Store's Problem
Not long after Cai Yixue left, Jia Hao got dragged away by two servant girls and made him take a bath. After that, when he came out, there was a set of red robes before him.
" Wait, Are we getting married right now?" Jia Hao was shocked when he saw that.
" Young Master Jia, Lady Yixue has instructed us to get you ready as soon as possible." One of the servant girls spoke with a smile.
" But why so sudden?"
" First lady said, we can use force if you delay the task."
Jia Hao was stunned when he heard that. He looked at the wedding robe as he touched it, feeling the silky surface of the dress.
' Hmm, So I am finally getting married after eight lives, huh?' Jia Hao became melancholic.
" Well, Why should I not celebrate this, huh? Thanks to those bastards, I couldn't live even one proper life. This time, I will change it." A smile appeared on Jia Hao's face as he looked at the sky.
As for why he passed Cai Yixue's test even after giving such half assed answer? It was too simple.
What Cai Yixue seeked wasn't a competent husband who would handle the Cai Family, but rather someone who doesn't do that.
Looking at the situation, Unless Cai Yunhai get a boy, the Cai Family will fall to either Cai Lingzhi or Cai Yixue. Cai Yixue is better than Cai Lingzhi in terms of management. But she is still a woman in the end.
What if her husband comes into the play? What if her husband starts to control the Cai Family's forces, overthrowing the main family's power completely?
Both Cai Yixue and Cai Lingzhi would be doomed, and the Cai Family would fall into her husband's hands. She will be a sinner for her ancestors.
Therefore, What Jia Hao offered Cai Yixue wasn't his competence, but her freedom. He gave her the freedom to manage the Cai Family as she wished.
This was his first step towards his life of fulfillment, a life which he cost his previous eight lives.
However, when the wedding ceremony finished, Jia Hao felt his mind was buzzing like a ringing bell.
' Fuck! I am nervous! I am fucking nervous!' Jia Hao clenched his teeth as he went through all the procedures. However, Cai Yixue's face was veiled by a red veil, so he could only see her pair of bright eyes.
However, Jia Hao felt no nervousness in those eyes as she looked at him with a light smile.
' Hmph! She isn't nervous, so why should I?' Jia Hao calmed his heart. However, suddenly, his gaze fell on Cai Lingzhi, who stood beside her mother Li Rou.
Although she was smiling, Jia Hao could feel a strange sadness in her eyes.
' Is she feeling sad because I married Yixue after sleeping with her in the cave?' Jia Hao also felt strange as he looked at Cai Yunhai, who stood with his robust appearance.
Poor guy, he doesn't know that both of her daughters were snatched by the same person. However, if someone asked Jia Hao, he would rather prefer Cai Lingzhi over Cai Yixue.
' Only if Lingzhi's breasts were a bit bigger...Mhm, She still has the potential though.'
After drinking the wedding wine, Jia Hao sighed. He finally confirmed that he was married.
However, not long after the pleasantries, the servant's words made everyone frown.
" Something happened in Fragrant Medicine Store?" Cai Yunhai was taken aback. " Why? What happened?"
" A large number of people from Anzu Village have come to our store. Many of them were unconscious with weak bodies, and some of them had sunken eyes."
" We tried to give them our brown gruel. However, it only made them throw up even more."
" A large amount of crowd is gathered outside our store. If we don't contain it, it will become a problem for our business."
" Damn it, It must be those Nie Family bastards." Cai Yixue lowered her voice as she cursed. " Let me go and change. I shall go there."
" Yixue, You just got married. You must not step outside the house today." Li Rou couldn't help but raise her concern.
" Yes, It's inauspicious for the bride to step out of the house after marriage."
" But Mother, I need to go." Cai Yixue sighed. " This is really troublesome matter."
" Big sis, No need to say that." Cai Lingzhi stepped forward as she looked at her. " I will go and see what's happening. You just got marries, so you should stay here."
" Lingzhi, You..."
" How about I go too?" Jia Hao looked at Cai Yixue and spoke. " Maybe, I have some solutions?"
" You? How could I let you go?" Cai Ningxhe spoke, a tongue of suspicion in her voice.
" What, you think I can't help you?" Jia Hao became amused. Cai Yixue paused as she suddenly remembered how Jia Hao's strange eraser erased the sign of her father from the bethrothal contract.
" But if there are any dangers..."
Old Yang stepped forward and knelt. " Don't worry, First Miss. I will do my best to protect everyone."
Cai Yixue sighed as she accepted reluctantly. Jia Hao got up and leaned to her. " Don't worry, My wife. I will solve this problem."
Not showing any expression, Cai Yixue watched Jia Hao go into the room to change back and leave with Cai Lingzhi and Old Yang. Although no one noticed any change, Cai Yixue's cheeks turned a bit red as her heart thumped by Jia Hao's words.
Sitting before Old Yang, Jia Hao and Cai Lingzhi, along with some Cai Family guards ran their horses towards the Fragrant Medicine Store.
When they arrived there, they could see a dozen or more people lying outside, with some people fanning them. Sunken eyes, unconsciousness, vomiting, and weakness, Jia Hao gasped at the situation instantly.
' Isn't that dehydration and diarrhea?'
Jia Hao thought inwardly. However, he could see some of them had a strange dark aura around them, thanks to his Sage's Divine Eyes.

As they reached, the crowd parted, giving way to the Cai Lingzhi and Jia Hao.
" Look, The Second Miss has arrived!"
" Second miss! Please save my husband! He has been like this from last night."
" Second Miss, Please look at my son. I can't bear seeing him like this."
Cai Lingzhi felt distressed as she saw the situation. Walking in the store, she looked at an old man.
" Pharmacist Mo, What happened to them?"
" It looks like dehydration and diarrhea." Pharmacist Mo sighed. " However, even after feeding them the brown growl, there is no effect."
" After eating, they should have gained some strength. However, they vomited instead and lost more of the water in their bodies."
" Is there no treatment?" Cai Lingzhi asked anxiously.
